look, it's not the big companies anymore that are engaged in international competition. it's the small and medium businesses that are, too. we just feel that if we keep taxing our job creators, our businesses, at higher rates than our foreign competitors are taxing theirs, it will cost us economic growth. more to the point, when we keep raising taxes in washington, for ephemeral promises that never materialize, we are not fixing the problem. >> let me get to that topic. the "wall street journal" says even the $600 billion in spending cuts in stage one are worth grabbing as part of a debt ceiling vote. more broadly, democrats in the gang are making a big concession by saying the tax rate should go down, not up. >> i agree with that. >> even obama-care must be reformed. why not grab what you can? >> that's what i want to do. >> and worry about reducing the taxes down the road. >> i think that's what we're going to do. >> if they don't materialize, you can revert and raise taxes down the road. >> i think that's what we should do is grab the kind of spending cuts we can righ

the big question is how big of a health issue is this for her. clearly she lives a pretty aggressive lifestyle. she's out there campaigning, raising money, doing politics all the time. despite having the chronic headaches she's been quite active. if that's the case, i think it's a short-term story that's a minor inconvenience for her and probably won't have a big effect on her standing with conservatives. again, her appeal is her voting record. we had her putting a statement out today that she's not going to vote at all to lift the debt ceiling. that puts her on the far, far right of her party. there's a lot of tea party activists who love that fighting spirit out of her. i think that's one of the many reasons she's going to be a force for some time. >> jim, let me ask you, we had a republican nominee who had had multiple bouts with mel know na a very serious cancer. we had a vice presidential nominee who had four heart attacks. how does that compare with taking medicare for headache? a lot of women suffer from this condition and function quite w
